In theory yes, and this would be quite useful. The code for this needs to be written though.
It would also be useful for me who runs the main cd torrent seeder in that I could just have an up-to-date debian archive and snapshot (minor rsync update), instead of syncing 300+ gigs of data before all the seeds are started up.
